[SOLVED] wine 1.3.19, no more oss output?

kokoko3k · 2011-04-30 17:47:49

Like the topic suggests, i cannot select oss anymore in wine after the last upgrade.
My concerns are about audio quality; in the past i noticed that oss was superior (at least under wine) if not using a properly configured asoundrc with samplerate converters that steal cpu cycles.

I checked last wine changelog and there is no mention of oss, so.. is that a packaging issue?

--edit

i tried to compile from source:

configure: OSS sound system found but too old (OSSv4 needed), OSS won't be supported.

So it seems that old oss is no more supported

The very same thing is happening to me. Anyway, the OSS version in my system is 4.2, so it shouldn't be returning this kind of error. How did you manage to work it out?

kokoko3k · 2011-05-02 06:44:57

I didn't, because i'm using alsa (i was talking about oss emulation)
Anyway, not only the configure script complains that it cannot find ossv4 on my system, it has trouble to detect ossv4 when it is installed too (readed that on a bug report).

So ALSA will do for me too, thank you very much

If you have problem with audio quality, here's mine .asoundrc which does audio resample,
need alsa-plugins and libsamplerate
you also have to disable audio hardware acceleration in winecfg.

      pcm.!default {
              type asym
              playback.pcm "defaultplayback"
              capture.pcm "defaultrec"
                hint{   show on
                   description "default play and rec koko"
                }
      }

      pcm.defaultrec {
              type plug
              slave {
                  pcm "hw:0,0"
                  rate 44100
                  channels 2
                  format S16_LE
              }
                hint{   show on
                   description "default rec koko"
                }

      }

  pcm.defaultplayback{
          type rate
          slave.pcm mix1
          slave.rate 48000

          #Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E7500  @ 2.93GHz:

            #converter "samplerate_best"     # perfect: 16%cpu, maybe overkill
            #converter "samplerate_medium"   # almost perfect: 6%cpu
            #converter "samplerate"          # good: 4%cpu, definitely usable
            #converter "samplerate_linear"   # bad: 2%cpu, way better than default wine resampler
            #converter "samplerate_order"    # very bad: 2%cpu, like the default wine resampler

          converter "samplerate"

            hint{   show on
                   description "default play koko"
            }
  }

    pcm.mix1 {
            type dmix
            ipc_key 1024
            slave {
                pcm "hw:0,0"
                rate 48000
                periods 128
                period_time 0
                period_size 1024 # must be power of 2
                buffer_size 65536

            }
    }

wine-1.3.19-2 now has regained oss support.

kokoko3k · 2011-05-03 07:12:56

Thanks, it seems so.
It even works with alsa emulation depsite the warning message in the configure script...

That's *huge*, and would just add latency.

8192 or 16384 would be better (adjusting the "periods" value to 8 or 16 accordingly).

Thanks brebs, i'll try to lower it.
